Whether you are a parent who has just learned that your child has hearing loss, or you are a young person with hearing loss yourself, there are many others in our community like you. Here at AG Bell we are working globally to ensure that people who are deaf and hard of hearing can hear and talk. We are here to provide support, information, resources and more to help guide you on your journey. Welcome to AG Bell.

We want all families to be informed and supported, professionals to be appropriately qualified to teach and help children with hearing loss, public policy leaders to effectively address the needs of people with hearing loss, and communities to be empowered to help their neighbors with hearing loss succeed.

Children with Hearing Loss Can Hear and Talk

When children are identified early, receive hearing technology and family-centered support, they can develop language on par with their peers. Learn more about the options and next steps following a hearing loss diagnosis.

You Are Not Alone

The families and professionals who make up the hearing loss community are eager to share advice, answer questions and provide support. Connect with this caring community through local chapters where you live, in-person events and social media.

Resources to Empower Your Family

Get to know the people, news and resources that can provide invaluable assistance during your family's journey, and learn to navigate the world of legislative rights and advocacy. Together, we can speak up to ensure your rights are protected and that you have access to the services your child needs.
